With Snapchat engagement on the decline, it’s looking for ways to keep people on the app, and hoping (again) that original content might do the trick. Snap Originals, introduced today, are five-minute, exclusive shows that will feature new episodes every day. Shows include: Co-Ed, a comedy from the Duplass Brothers (who made the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country); Class of Lies, a Riverdale–esque mystery thriller; and Endless Summer, a reality show from the makers of Keeping Up with the Kardashians,…

Outside of the tech world, Samsung is Android. iPhone or Samsung is the decision many people make when buying a new phone contract. Of course, Samsung is not Android. Google makes Android work, and its Google Pixel 3 is the company’s vision of what Android hardware and software working together should be. It has a new look and an amazing camera. On the other hand, the Galaxy S9 is familiar territory for Samsung given it looks like the S8. Both…

Alongside the Pixel 3 and new Home Hub, Google launched the much-rumoured Pixel Slate. It’s a 12.3in tablet that seems a lot like an evolution of the Pixelbook concept, aimed at those who want a detachable keyboard. It’s also a model which gives Google something to compete against the iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro. But it runs ChromeOS, Google’s own operating system which can also run Android apps, another Google OS. It seems that Android has failed as a…

We love The Crown, one of the best acted and most beautifully made dramas around at the moment. Netflix has confirmed that the show will return for a third and fourth series, and in this article we round up everything we know (and the most plausible rumours) about the cast, the plot, the release date and more. When will Netflix show The Crown season 3? The Crown Season 3 will air in 2019 – on Netflix, naturally. (Here’s how to…

Google Home Hub joins the Google Home, Mini and Max models in the company’s line of smart speakers with Google Assistant built-in. It follows the Echo Show with an integrated display, and is poised to become the ultimate device for connecting all your smart home tech and online services when it goes on sale later this month. Also announced at the ‘Made by Google’ event: Pixel 3 & 3 XL, Pixel Slate and Chromecast 3. Read our initial Pixel 3 review and Pixel 3 XL…

Razer has sent out invites to the media confirming an event that many predict will be the grand unveiling of the Razer Phone 2. Like many smartphone launches in 2018, the company is set to live stream the entire event for Razer fans across the world. The issue? It’s a late one for those in the UK and Europe. Here’s all you need to know about the Razer Phone 2 reveal, including start times and how you can watch the…

Honor is making a great name for itself in the global smartphone market. Owned by Huawei, it’s a separate brand that often takes the exact same specs of a Huawei phone, repackages it, and sells it cheaper. Turns out, that’s a great thing for you the consumer. We tend to ignore Honor’s youth-focussed branding, as these often affordable smartphones are great for everyone (particularly if you like the colour blue, though other colours are available). They often have dual cameras,…

Gaming has come a long way in the past 10-15 years – look at how much Shadow of the Colossus has improved in its remaster to understand what we mean. Graphics are sharper, gameplay is more fast-paced, and developers can create vast, detailed open worlds that simply couldn’t have run on previous generation consoles or older PCs. There’s so much variety in open-world games too, from survival games that pit you against the environment to RPGs with a never-ending questline.…

Fans are a very important part of a PC and laptop as they cool the components when things start to get hot. This can also mean that after a few minutes of any intensive tasks your rig starts to sound like an aircraft taking off. You could install quieter fans (in a PC), but here we’ll show you a few ways to control fan speed and quieten your machine for free. Of course if you want to use the noisy device as…

Want to know the first three pieces of advice we give to new iPhone owners? Back up, back up, back up. Your iPhone is full of important and irreplaceable data, from precious photos and messages to health data, business contacts, emails and documents; not to mention dozens of laboriously downloaded apps and games and hundreds of songs. And assuming you don’t back up, you could lose it all if your phone is stolen or broken (which is a sadly common…

2017 saw some massive price cuts on virtual reality equipment, as both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift slashed their asking prices by hundreds of pounds in efforts to lure more customers into their ecosystems. Of the big three, only PlayStation VR has stayed the same price – but that still makes it comfortably the cheapest of the bunch. VR is more affordable than ever before – but that doesn’t stop potential purchasers from holding out for sales and special deals as the…

ITV Hub is what the UK TV channel calls its online catch-up service, accessible either through the ITV website or via one of the official apps. It’s the ideal way to catch-up on your favourite ITV shows like Love Island or The X Factor, but there is one big downside: it’s UK only, which means you can’t watch anything on ITV Hub if you live outside the UK, or even if you’re just visiting somewhere else on holiday. Fortunately, there…

With Fortnite’s recently launched season six, Epic Games are continuing their weekly challenges.

Titans is the next upcoming DC Comics TV show, this one based on the Teen Titans group, which includes Robin and a group of other young superheroes and sidekicks (in this instance Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy) teaming up to fight crime. Titans is a grim ‘n’ gritty take on the material (arguably better known for its light-hearted cartoons), and the first show created for DC Universe – the company’s dedicated streaming platform. DC Universe isn’t out beyond the US…

The RTX series had a bit of a luke-warm reception as they were released last month. The Ray Tracing technology that really sets the card apart as a technological leap forward is not currently being used by a large number of current titles. However, the RTX 2070 which releases on 17 October at £380 ($499) for the standard edition and £569 ($599) for the Founders edition, may be the one to change all of this. Take a look at our…

When the Google Chromecast was announced back in 2013 it was a must-have bit of kit – a £30/$35 HDMI dongle that plugged into the back of any old TV to add smart features including app and cast support. It was then updated in 2015 with a new design, alongside the Chromecast Audio, and the Chromecast Ultra followed in 2016. It’s been all quiet on the Chromecast front ever since, so we’re due an update. Even in 2018 not everyone…

If you’re experiencing problems with your AirPods, such as strange battery drains or intermittent audio, it could be that they need resetting.

In this article we show you the quick way to reboot your wireless earbuds. If you’re waiting for the expected update to…

We take a look at what Sets has to offer and when you can expect to see it on your PC. Tabbed Windows Essentially, Sets is a feature that allows you to have web browser tabs and apps all appear next to each other in…
